Special day for me

I recently joined this forum because I finally said to myself "It's time you did something nice for yourself." I've had a bit of a rough year. Earlier in the year my business took a hit. Then in the spring I suffered a bit of a freak injury. I ruptured my right bicep tendon while bowling (yes, you can laugh). I was ushered into semi-emergency surgery 3 days later to reattach it. I recovered, toughed it out. Business recovered as well.

Ever since I was a younger man in my 20's I wanted a Rolex Submariner. I was very specific with my desires. I wanted a no date, two line, 14060. I know it's humble but it's what I wanted. I'm a very laid back and subtle guy and I felt this watch would be best for me.

Well today Ian, royaloak36, made it happen for me. Thanks again for your professionalism and helping me acquire something I've wanted for a very long time. Cheers. P serial, very nice condition.



EDIT: Sorry for the pic size initially, gentlemen.

Bowling, you mean you were wrestling a grizzly bear to protect your picnic basket, right.

Haha! I tell people it was a shark attack. It was only made better by the fact I was on a "date." Imagine that!
